Abstract

We critically readdress the problem of vacancy clustering in silicon by perform large-scale tight-binding molecular dynamics simulations. We also compare the results of this quantum-mechanical approach to the widely used model-potential molecular dynamics scheme based on the Tersoff and Stillinger-Weber interatomic potentials.
